A FEW HINTS & TIPS FOR
|
|
|
|
-- ELITE --
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start with, think offensive! If you start going soft, you're out!
|
|
|
|
This is the golden rule of Elite, you've got to struggle to survive.
|
|
|
|
The biggest profit lies in trading narcotics from a rich industrial
|
|
world to a poor agrucial. The profit is also big when trading in medicals
|
|
and computers from the rich industrial worlds to the poor agrucial.
|
|
Gold, platonium, minerals, liqures and sometimes furs is profitable
|
|
to trade from poor agrucial worlds to rich industrial.
|
|
|
|
The fastest route to assets is to travel to a planet which has a
|
|
Feudal guvorment. This is the most law-less kind of all guvorments (where
|
|
Corporate State is the safest) and here you can, and will meet many pirates.
|
|
Shoot 'em and collect the cargo cannisters they leave behind (this requires
|
|
fuel scoops, of course).
|
|
Warning! You ought to be equipped with a better laser than the
|
|
standard puls-type, 'cos there will in most cases be too many pirates
|
|
attacking at the same time thus resulting in a catastrophe if you're
|
|
equipped with a lonley puls-laser.
|
|
|
|
NEVER buy retro-rockets. They cost CR 8000 and is almost useless,
|
|
since all they do is to thrust you backwards a couple of times. Nice to
|
|
use to escape from your enemies for a short period of time, but it isn't
|
|
worth the dough. If you want to escape, use the escape-capsule. Your cargo
|
|
is gone, but you'r getting a new space ship, identical to the one you
|
|
dropped out from.
|
|
|
|
To speed up the game considerately, buy a docking computer, switch
|
|
the docking computer to the 'fast' mode under options (+)and the second you
|
|
press 'C' (when the 'S' sign has appeared in the lower right corner of
|
|
the radar) you will be in the automatic docking sequence, instead of using
|
|
most of the game time just approching space-stations.
|
|
|
|
During combat:stop the speed of your craft as soon as the enemies
|
|
appear. This gives you more time to shoot at them before they return the
|
|
confetti. If their number is overwhelming gain top speed and fly away from
|
|
them while using the rear laser to shoot 'em down.
|
|
The last tactic is preferable if you meet a Thargoid and you've got only
|
|
a pulse laser.
